Abstract
This article analyses the role played by the socio-familiar network of the Mosqueras and the power relations it sewn within the sociopolitical processes of the city of Popayan during the first years of the decade of 1830, after the dissolution of the “Gran Colombia” period. The main interest pursued by this study is the description and analysis of the network built by the Mosqueras and their clan – around different socio-political issues emerging back then in the recently formed “República Granadina” – that exerted a strong influence on the dynamics and socio-political practices of the city and the region.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
